Replacement construction on entrance and facade of the Opera House Civic Center, photo by Dell Fixin' Up The Opera House by Sam Cox With just one month left on the contract, Riley Construction Co. the installation of the elevator and new entrance is busily finishing at the Opera House. There will also be new rest rooms and new carpet. The carpet is being paid for by the Beaver Senior Citizens Personal Fund. The rest of the remodeling is sponsored by Beaver City through a grant of $135,000 from the U.S. Department of Urban Renewal. As the Beaver Opera House is on the National Register of Historical Sites, the Utah Historical Society is monitoring the work and everything should pretty much match the original construction. There will be new front doors and a wheelchair ramp to bring the old building up to code with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Witn donated labor and stock at $5.00 per share, plus some local capital, the 95 year old Opera House was opened on April 1, 1909 at a cost of $28,000. The Beaver Press account of the opening says "Robinsons Brass Band came out in their new uniforms and paraded the streets dispensing their beautiful music for a hour". For 20 years the Opera house was the social center for all large public meetings. One night might be a wedding, the next night a traveling lecturer or a vaudeville stock company.. Silent movies were shown there, when available. Most social behavior changed in the 1920's especially where music and dancing were concerned. The Opera House was no longer the only large hall in Beaver and was in disuse when the local National Guard Legion used it as their headquarters in 1929. It's use with the Guard continued until 1 941 when the local unit was inducted into the U.S. Army. After the 2nd world war the Guard, 2nd Battalion 222nd Artillery (now known as "The Triple Duce") occupied the old build ing until the new armory was built on Main Street. Then the unused Opera House fell into disrepair in the 1950's There were holes in' the roof, broken floor boards and pigeons nesting in the old balcony. In the 1960's a sewing factory moved in and made a ceiling where the balcony had been. That business closed in 1967 and the Opera House was neglected again for 10 years. In the late 1970's the Beaver senior citizens organized and drew up a lease on the Opera House with the city. With many fund raising projects, donations, volunteer labor and $60,000 from the county and city budgets the old hall became the Opera House Civic Center. When the restoration project was completed in 1982 the center had a second floor, an assemblydining hall, a fully modern kitchen and on the north end, a 150 seat theater. During the past 20 years the Beaver Civic Arts Council has continuously produced numerous plays, musicals and concerts in the theater. Local organizations also use the theater for their special events. But currently the greatest use of the Opera House Civic Center is the senior citizens dining program. According to Kelly Jo Beaver Beeson, County Coordinator for Aging Services, in the year 2003 they served 11,742 meals in the dining hall.
